Cannot upgrade PIP in virtual environment

I am trying to upgrade pip in a virtual environment. I am using the venvburrito wrapper, in an ubuntu 14.04 machine. When I try to update it I get the following error:

   (virtual_env) ubuntu@ip-xxxxxxx:~$ pip install pip --upgrade
Collecting pip
  Using cached pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: pip
  Found existing installation: pip 8.1.2
    Not uninstalling pip at /home/ubuntu/.venvburrito/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip-8.1.2-py2.7.egg, outside environment /home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/virtual_env
Successfully installed pip-8.1.2
You are using pip version 8.1.2, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

If I try it with sudo, inside the virtual environment, I get the following error:

(virtual_env) ubuntu@ip-xxxxxxx:~$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip
The directory '/home/ubuntu/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

When I do it outside the virtual environment, it installs correctly.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Seen a lot of problems with pip that all seem to be fixed by running it as a python module instead of directly:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Try installing it as follows, within your virtualenv:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
